Intuition is linear; our imaginations are weak. Even the brightest of us only extrapolate from what we know now; for the most part, we're afraid to really stretch.

I'm working on artificial intelligence. Actually, natural language understanding, which is to get computers to understand the meaning of documents.

My mission at Google is to develop natural language understanding with a team and in collaboration with other researchers at Google.

A lot of movies about artificial intelligence envision that AIs will be very intelligent but missing some key emotional qualities of humans and therefore turn out to be very dangerous.

Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.

Even by common wisdom, there seem to be both people and objects in my dream that are outside myself, but clearly they were created in myself and are part of me; they are mental constructs in my own brain.

A successful person isn't necessarily better than her less successful peers at solving problems; her pattern-recognition facilities have just learned what problems are worth solving.
